Comments

[concasse]

I'm accepting that he's a bigger pain in my ass than I anticipated.

[Taking a swig of that bottle]

[alttitude]

I thought you weren't mad at him.

[concasse]

[.... ears turning red in protest]

I'm not that mad at him.

[alttitude]

[ . . . . ]

How mad at him are you.

[concasse]

[...

takes another swig of the bottle











he pretty mad]

[alttitude]

... are you going to make me play 20 questions?

[god, sanji!!!!]

What are you maybe-mad at him for?

[concasse]

[For sleeping with an extremely vulnerable girl who is two steps from jumping off the deep end and likely killing someone.

... But he can't say that with a clear conscience, so:]

I don't know, get off my back!

[Sulking]

[alttitude]

[for fuck's sake, sanji]

.... you came to get me in the middle of the night for this? You know I can't do anything to make the situation better aside from distractions if you don't come clean.

[concasse]

I don't know!

[There is some small truth to it, and he starts scrubbing a hand through his hair, voice coming out a loud hiss]

I just wish he'd stop being such a goddamn disaster all the time! Why are everyone's ways of dealing with shit so unhealthy!

[alttitude]

I don't know, why'd you go into the hedge maze after 2B just said last trial there was a minotaur in there?

[reaches for the bottle]

[concasse]

... You bastards know that minotaur isn't actually that tough to fight off, right?

[Hm. That's probably giving away too much. Sulking, but still handing over the bottle.]

I went there to look for clues, if there were any. [A shrug] But anyway...

[alttitude]

But did you know that before you went?

[But Jae-ha waves a hand, he won't press onto that point but rather - ]

The point I was trying to make is that sometimes people don't make sense. Sometimes they do things that we think is unhealthy, but to them, it's the only thing that they need at the moment.

I'm guessing at this point you know more about Zelos than I do - so if he's a disaster, just think about where he came from, I guess.

[concasse]

Hn.

[For a moment that's all he says without looking particularly convinced. Or more that it's not a conclusion he wants to dwell on.

Regardless--]

I suppose if he helps him keep his shit in order, I got no right to complain.

[So why does he still feel so irritable? Jeez.]

[alttitude]

No, you do. You still don't have a bed tonight.

[Jae-ha snorts, and offers the bottle back.]

You can understand something while still being bothered by it. Emotions aren't that easy to wrangle, unfortunately.

[he gets mad at his own, every now and then]

[concasse]

No, I meant--

[Mmmr. Taking that bottle and taking a large, large swig that burns the back of his throat]

Have you met me? S'not like I'm shy about being pissed off.

[...]

But I meant it. Bastard's terrible at expressing himself normally, he probably needs someone to...

[alttitude]

[ . . . ]

How do you think sex works? Like truth serum?

[concasse]

I will murder you and no one will find your body when I'm finished.

[alttitude]

You don't have a point of reference, so I'm wondering if you're just making things up as you go.

[RUDE AS HELL disguised in politeness.]

Do you think that this stunt will make him be more honest? Sure, it feels great, but it doesn't exactly mean you want to pour your heart out after.

[concasse]

[Jae-Ha is talking to the romantic who would absolutely pour out his soul during pillow talk, complete with poetry he wrote earlier

... He's gotta take another swig of that bottle]

[alttitude]

[ . . . . . nooooooo.

ohhhhhh nooooooooooooooo.

jae-ha just starts

laughing

oh noooooooooo]

Your silence is - so telling....!! It's cute! It's really cute! How unexpected!

[concasse]

FUCK OFF I DON'T NEED TO HEAR THIS SHIT FROM YOU--!

[Jesus wept his face is the color of red ink, starting with his ears.

RIP]

[alttitude]

[Jae-ha's actually laughing now - which is counterproductive to how he picks up a pillow and moves to cover Sanji's face with it.]

Quiet, quiet! There's people sleeping, you know!

[concasse]

[They are lucky Sanji doesn't drop the bottle during Jae-Ha's smothering attempt.]

You're the one laughing!

[SLIGHTLY lowering his voice. Just a bit.]

[alttitude]

I am.

Because you're a romantic at heart, and it's sweet. I had my suspicions but it's nice to have them confirmed. ♥

[concasse]

... What the hell does that have to do with anything.

[At this point he's grumbling for the sake of it, having already seen where Jae-Ha is getting with that comment. A sigh, as he pulls the pillow off his face]

All this shitty fuss... I'm kicking his ass later for making me go through this.
